Ryan Reese Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Ramsay's Ryan Reese, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Reese picked up six sacks and made eight total tackles. He has become a key player for Ramsay: the team is undefeated when he posts at least three total tackles, but 2-3 otherwise.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Ramsay, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Reese and Ramsay will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Wenonah at 7:00 p.m.

Jayden Martin Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Keeping Reese company is Jayden Martin, a fellow Ramsay player. He rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (107.3) per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
Martin and Ramsay will face off against Wenonah at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Martin will face off against Makhi Fowler, the Dragons' star RB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
